Currently, Kyle Busch has a lot of questions about his future in the NASCAR Cup Series. With the impending departure of Mars Inc. and M&M’s, Busch is in desperate need for a permanent sponsor.

Unfortunately, it is looking increasingly likely that sticking with Joe Gibbs Racing is not much of an option. So, ahead of Watkins Glen, Busch was pretty subdued in front of the media.

Spotter Brett Griffin said, “He went from this complete b***hole in the media to like, this really nice guy in the last two weeks.”

“Have you all noticed that?”

“Like, he’s answering questions, ‘Ask Joe Gibbs‘, ‘Oh no, talk to Joe Gibbs’. He went from that to opening up and actually telling his story.”

“I appreciate that, if you want to win me over, tell me your story. Tell me what’s going on.”

What lies ahead for Kyle Busch in the NASCAR Cup Series?

For the moment, the #18 driver is dividing his focus between his Cup Series campaign and trying to find a sponsor. Without a doubt, the driver is hugely talented and has a great personality. Sometimes, that personality can arguably be a bit abrasive and he can be very snippy. It would be safe to assume that some sponsors will be wary of Busch’s brusque nature.

So it came as a massive surprise to Brett Griffin when Kyle Busch seemingly mellowed out at Watkins Glen.

In fact, the #18 driver was rather verbose on that day and did not resort to short answers. In fact, he even confessed that it would be difficult for his Rowdy Energy brand to act as his primary sponsor.

So for now, the hunt continues, and the driver is aware that time is running out. The big question is, who will be willing to take a gamble on the driver for the 2023 season?
